[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chuckling at those who defended the GDS micro campus for years and now say the $100 million upgrade is essential.  Pity the grads who paid top dollar for inadequate facilities.  [/quote]

I love these sour grapes posters.   
Parents, do you truly think that our elementary school students notice and compare facilities?  I went to a fancy private school (different town) when I was younger and the school received a much needed update AFTER I graduated.  Did I care as the student?  Not in the slightest.  Frankly, I have fond memories of the old dingy property and all of the friends I met there because it was a fantastic school experience.  I think that we as parents create these out-of-touch expectations (lacrosse fields, fancy cafeterias and jungle gyms) because we pay handsomely for our children to attend these schools.  But have you asked your elementary school children what is actually important to them when it comes to school?  My guess: buddies, teachers, and cool field trips will be the top responses.  No need to pity the grads who paid top dollar.  My sense is that they'll do just fine!
